Connect to your heart and express what really matters

Welcome

This is a place to celebrate and express our heart connections through shrine making. It is a space for all shrine (altar, temple) makers who like to share ideas and inspirations about making and living with a personal shrine, bringing mindfulness to daily living.

On this site you are also able to buy a beautiful shrine craft kit which is versatile, easy to cut, paint and/or decoupage to make it uniquely yours. Those altar making craft kits make also beautiful meaningful spiritual gifts to friends who need encouragement, nurture and focus in their lives.

You don’t need to be an artist to be able to enjoy and profit from this process.

Tending to personal home shrines is a tradition dating back thousands of years. In many cultures and religions people have used daily rituals to keep their spiritual lives connected to their day to day living. People may light an incense or put a little offering like a flower in their shrine to express their gratitude and devotion.

Spirituality and Love have many different meanings and expressions in peoples lives. That which deeply moves us is often difficult if not impossible to express in words, but it is what connects us to spirit and each other.

Creating your own shrine is an invitation to explore and express your heart matters in colour, images, symbols and found objects and find your very own personal meanings.

Your personal shrine or altar is a place to honour and celebrate anything which holds meaning to you and deserves remembrance, such as:

This was simply a wonderful and fun way to spend a weekend sharing creativity and companionship with others. Busy around a table in the most beautiful setting imaginable with unlimited options for creativity, as Claudia has many wonderful ideas and supplies that made the possibilities for design infinite. We all had fun losing ourselves as we unleashed our creative juices and produced a beautiful assortment of sacred and meaningful shrines. It amazes me the variety and individual expression of every human on this planet. We all came away feeling inspired and relaxed and oh so satisfied. Ideas are already blooming in me for the next workshop.

…Viewed everyday since: it has been a focal point for me to greet as I enter my house, and the last thing I see on my exit.

It was lovingly created, and has had many add on, take off appendages, morphing over a period of 8 months. I sometimes write affirmations to myself, and place them inside my shrine, my partner, nature lover extreme, loves to collect crystals, shells and rocks, and he too places an offering on the shrine just for his own pleasure

……I really enjoyed your workshop, Claudia, and say thanks again for a journey to and about myself.
